Namibia vs Congo Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.13 expected goals for Namibia and 0.82 for Congo, a combined total of 1.96. That distribution gives Namibia the largest share of the 1X2 market at 43%, with the draw at 31%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 31% for over 2.5 goals and 38% for both teams to score, with 1–0 the single most likely scoreline at 16%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 43% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 73.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 38% and over 2.5 goals at 31%.
A 74% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
